I’ve mentioned on this blog before that if 1000 people in Bellevue sign up, recyclable materials can be picked up at your home. Visit EarthSavers to sign up for this great service. The Bellevue Recycling Drop Off Center at the MTA Park and Ride station will remain open. Folks, like me, will still use this service. I’m hoping that those in Bellevue, who don’t like taking their recyclable stuff in their ride, will use the pick up service. We drop our stuff off while heading to Publix or to work, so we don’t make an extra trip.

This would make a great Christmas gift to someone in Bellevue, who doesn’t have home pick up for their recyclables.

Publix Supermarkets, where shopping is a pleasure, will take these items in their plastic bins. That’s great news, but the best thing to do is to cancel newspaper home delivery and to refuse the dry cleaning bags. I asked that my clothes not be bagged last time. I got a small smudge on a white blouse when I placed my clothes in my car, but no big deal to me.
